Sometimes I will get a blue feature sheet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linens---team-white-or-coloured/page/2#post-1710619 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 03:25:22 +0000 BrieN 1710619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 100% cotton white sheets. Especially starched and ironed. That's the ultimate. The sheets for my king sized bed have a subtle stripe woven into the fabric so like Catseye mentions you can easily tell which way they fit. Kids rooms and guest room have either white or cream. </p> <p>I bought DD both white towels and dark towels for college, knowing she would have clean towels even if she could only squeeze in a single load of whites or darks. But it was psychologically difficult to buy the dark towels </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linens---team-white-or-coloured/page/2#post-1710504 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 23:11:31 +0000 Janet 1710504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White for towels. I made that switch over the last few years, gradually replacing our towels with fresh new white ones from Restoration Hardware.&nbsp;</p> <p>For our bed, we have two sets and alternate between white and tan sheets. Both go with the decor. The guest room alternates between eggplant and tan -- again, both go with the decor, and I just can't get rid of the eggplant ones. They are bamboo and SO SOFT.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have fun color and prints -- some are, um, vintage -- for our inflatable beds that we use when we have lots of houseguests, especially since those tend to get used by kids. And some solid colors (sage green, blue) for the two futons in our house that also get used when we have lots of guests. The colors help identify what fits on what. :-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linens---team-white-or-coloured/page/2#post-1710459 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 21:50:01 +0000 Liz 1710459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team solid colors, but never, ever white.

These are subtly patterned in shades of gray-taupe and natural. My blanket (which is "my" bedspread) is natural off white with a textured weave. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linens---team-white-or-coloured#post-1710245 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 13:35:32 +0000 Eliza 1710245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team white for sheets and towels. Love them. And the "hand" matters for the sheets, especially.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linens---team-white-or-coloured#post-1710233 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 13:10:00 +0000 anne 1710233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is one of those threads that makes me feel rather bemused, like I'm in a different world from everyone else.<br />Because, I didn't choose our sheets, in general. My preference hasn't really come into it. Most were gifts. A couple of sets were&nbsp; bought by DH&nbsp; because he had the idea of using the fitted sheet to cover a stained old couch.<br />&nbsp;I haven't bought a single set of sheets for the kids - all gifts or handed down. Most of our blankets are handed down - and a good thing too, as Australia doesn't manufacture woolen blankets anymore. I think we did choose one set of doona covers for one daughter once.</p> <p>We did choose doona covers and doonas for ourselves, but since all the buttons have fallen off, we don't use the covers much anymore.</p> <p>Oh, and mostly coloured.We were given a lovely queen set of white Egyptian cotton, but the fitted sheet has worn through and is now a rag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linens---team-white-or-coloured#post-1710139 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 07:28:22 +0000 Barbara Diane 1710139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Colors! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linens---team-white-or-coloured#post-1710105 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 03:17:53 +0000 rachylou 1710105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I have done it all. I'm old! Lol. Currently tho my decor schemes require exactly the right shade of solid pale blue. Very difficult.

Everything gets washed once a week so we use twin duvets and twin mattresses on our king. It was also easy to train our kids to make their beds in the morning when all they had to do was shake out a duvet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linens---team-white-or-coloured#post-1709978 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 21:29:27 +0000 Aida 1709978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Muted plaids if printed or cream, blue or gray if solid here; never white Usually get paid flannels for cool weather, my favorite! Blankets, too.

I have off white and egg shell but mostly I have little designs. &nbsp;I have a lot of greens and grey with subtle designs like dots or triangles. I do have some with small flowers, too. It makes me think of home. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linens---team-white-or-coloured#post-1709930 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 19:02:45 +0000 Carla 1709930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, Land's End flannels are my go to. I get the heavy Portugese ones (in white, natch!). Just last year I replaced 2 sets that were 10+ years. The fitted sheets wore through and the flats were getting pretty thin. I'm using them as paint drop clothes. I'm happy with the new ones. No drop in quality, there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linens---team-white-or-coloured#post-1709904 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 18:12:30 +0000 deb 1709904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, I use the Garnet Hill flannel flat sheets as blankets.

My sheets, pillowcases &amp; bedspread in the room match the curtains in the room. I have several sets for both master bedroom &amp; guest room based on the curtains there. Never used white. Too high maintenance for my lifestyle with dog hair and dogs tracking in mud into the house after every walk! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linens---team-white-or-coloured#post-1709882 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 17:37:26 +0000 Liz A. 1709882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like printed comforters and coverlets, because they don't show cat hair as easily. &nbsp;And I pretty much stick to light colored sheets for the same reason, but not white. &nbsp;White has no place in my decor/color scheme. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linens---team-white-or-coloured#post-1709879 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 17:35:49 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1709879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Color, and usually some small print. My current sheets are blush pink with a small scale pattern in white. Being a renter, walls are all white, so linens are where I can bring in some color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linens---team-white-or-coloured#post-1709858 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 16:56:10 +0000 catseye 1709858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use print for one reason. I have a king bed and can never figure out which is the long side. So I always get some striped sheets to help me with that. </p>
